Documentation

Definition

Specifies the approval group for the item(s) to be paid.

Use

The system automatically creates an approval group for items when a user initially starts the approval process. The system places all items selected at that time in an approval group and passes the group to the possible approvers. When an approver processes the approval group, several possible things can happen:

  • The approver approves all items in the approval group. The approval group remains intact and the system passes it to the respective processor.
  • The approver approves or rejects some items in the approval group. The items that are approved remain in this approval group and are passed on to the next processor. The items that were rejected are placed by the system into a new approval group and sent back to the previous processor.
  • The approver approves items under the threshold amount defined in your company's approval process. The system removes these items from the current approval group and places them in a new group. The items in the group have the "Released for Payment" status.
  • The approver is the last approver in the approval process. The system removes these items from the current approval group and places them in a new group. The items in the group have the "Released for Payment" status.
